美國迪斯可女王［唐娜桑瑪］＆姐妹搖滾樂團［紅心］的交集──流行／靈魂曲──［The Woman in Me］

Dancin close feelin restless

Its a slow sultry night

Itll take a lifetime til sunrise

If you wont stay with me tonight

Feel your breath caress my shoulder

As your heart reads my mind

You dont have to tell me anything

I can see everything in your eyes

Its so easy with you

I dont need an excuse to be the woman in me

Its so hard to believe that Im feeling so free to be the woman in me

Baby theres so much no man has ever touched of the woman in me

I might be trembling,

But Im not scared

Just my desire breaking free

Ive never had a chance like this before

To unlock all the doors to the woman in me

Its so easy with you

I dont need an excuse to be the woman in me

Its so hard to believe that Im feeling so free

To be the woman in me

Like the dark side of the full moon

Ive never shown what Ive showing to you

Its so easy with you

I dont need an excuse

To be the woman in me

Its so hard to believe that Im feeling so free to be the woman in me

Its so easy with you

I dont need an excuse to be the woman in me

Its so hard to believe that Im feeling so free to be the woman in

Me

１９８２年７月　３３歲半的美國迪斯可女王唐娜桑瑪（Donna Summer）發行第十張原創大碟［Donna Summer］（Geffen唱片）

改與當紅製作人昆西瓊斯（Quincy Jones）合作

這也是唐娜走紅以來首度沒有長期搭檔Giorgio Moroder&Pete Bellotte參與的專輯

樂風多元, 除以舞曲貫穿整張大碟外, 另有濃厚的靈魂曲風, 加上福音, 搖滾, 放克, 後迪斯可等

但樂評中等, 並沒［The Wanderer］廣受讚譽

首支主打［Love Is in Control（Finger on the Trigger）／愛在掌握中（手指在扳機上）］登上Billboard單曲榜＃１０　成為桑瑪第１２首美國前十暢銷曲（１９８２年終＃５３）　英國榜＃１６

第二主打［State of Independence］則登上Billboard單曲榜＃４１　英國榜＃１４

１９８２年底, 唐娜推出第三單曲［The Woman in Me］

由Michael Clark, John Bettis譜寫, 被製作成一首流行／靈魂曲

在中板搖曳的節拍間, 桑瑪以溫柔的方式演繹

［The Woman in Me］登上Billboard單曲榜＃３３　

副榜──成人抒情榜＃１４　

英國榜＃６２　荷蘭＃１２

１９９３年, 美國姐妹搖滾樂團紅心（Heart）翻唱此曲

這是以舞曲見長的桑瑪的抒情佳作之一
